Samenvatting
A study of the day-to-day law and culture of slavery. It investigates the local courtrooms of the Deep South where ordinary people settled their disputes over slaves. It also seeks to explain how communities dealt with an important dilemma raised by these trials: how could slaves who acted as moral agents be treated as commodities?
